Jake Arrieta has been great on the season, but he’s been nothing short of transcendent over his last 15 starts. Well, if you consider 12-1 with a 0.99 ERA, 0.74 WHIP, a .154 batting average against, and a 108/23 K/BB ratio transcendent. Arrieta is hot right now, sizzling. What he’s doing is almost as ridiculous as Bernie Lincicome being allowed to publish his Cubs thoughts in the Chicago Tribune or a guy who can’t comprehend WAR working for MLB.com. The struggle is real, folks.
The only struggle with Arrieta these days though is how to approach him as an opposing hitter.
